This paper proposes decoupling the dependency tree from word order, such that surface ordering is not determined by traversing the dependency tree. We develop the notion of a word...
In order to obtain efficiency, current practice in distributed software systems design often suffers from a lack of ion. An object-oriented design technique based on UML notations...
A possible worlds semantics for model-based spatial reasoning is presented. In this semantics, worlds are characterized by the alternative states that result from indeterminacy or...
We propose a new semantics for modeling belief, mixing conncepts from qualitative probabilistic and classical possible world accounts. Our belief structures are coherent sets of q...
We introduce a new 3D shape descriptor which maps the surface features onto an arbitrary template surface using mean-value interpolation. A compact numerical shape descriptor is e...
